  • Patent number: 7005163
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an organic-inorganic hybrid film material consisting of polyamide and either polysilsesquioxane or silicon alkoxide and to a process for producing the organic-inorganic hybrid film material. The present process can effectively reduce the phase separation and can produce an organic-inorganic hybrid film material having 0–100% organic content. The present process can control desired properties of the resultant hybrid film material by adjusting the ratio of the organic and inorganic material, such as refractive index, birefractive index, dielectric index, and plateness of the film. Also, the present organic-inorganic hybrid film material possesses excellent heat-resistivity and is suitable for an IC process requiring high processing temperature.

  • Patent number: 6927270
    Abstract: Efficient processes have been developed for the cost effective functionalization of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-silanols (POSS-Silanols) and for the manufacture of polyfunctional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes. The processes utilize the action of bases or acids on silane coupling agents. The preferred process utilizes base to promote the silylation of POSS-Silanols of the formula [(RSiO1.5)n(R(HO)SiO1.0)m]?# with silane coupling agents to form POSS species with functionalized incompletely condensed nanostructures [(RSiO1.5)n(R(YSiR2O)SiO1.0)m]?# or functionalized completely condensed nanostructures [(RSiO1.5)n(YSiO1.5)1]?#. The process can alternately be conducted with acids. A second process utilizes base to alkylate POSS-Silanols with functionalized alkyl halides. A third related process utilizes base to react with silane coupling agents to form polyfunctional, fully condensed POSS species of formula [(YSiO1.5)n]?#. This process can also alternately be conducted under acidic conditions.
